Yep, the information I see is classic problem. Just have to figure out a
fix.

The call command will allocate the space in the parameter data, even when
using sbmjob. So, say you want a 50 character parameter. Pass a parameter
with length 51 with 'x' (or something similar) in the 51st byte. The 'x'
gets ignored. The other 50 bytes are received by the called program.

The other (probably better) way is to create your own command. You can
define the parameters however you need to. No sleight of hand necessary.
